Just like in the first game, you can get Duo Boons in Hades 2, if you're lucky. But what if it wasn't about luck and there was actually something you could do to increase your chances of finding them faster? Well, you're in luck (pun intended), because there's not one but two ways you can achieve that. Of course, this won't happen in the early game, but after you've made some progress, these are the things you'll need to unlock.

You need the card Insight Into Offers Incantation and The Queen (XX) Arcana to get Duo Boons in this game. Keep in mind that they are not strictly necessary, but without them it becomes more a matter of chance and collecting the right favors needed to meet the criteria for the Duo Boon. Here's what both do:

That sums up everything you need to know to unlock Duo Boons in Hades 2 and increase your chances of finding them. If you want Golden Apples for the above incantation, you must first lift the ward preventing you from going to the surface. Make sure you read our guide on how to get Shadow, as it's needed for the spell that removes that ward. While on the surface, make sure you also farm Bronze.
